AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Service)
This basic analog cellular service in the United States and South America typically operates at 800 MHz and uses FDMA transmission technology. With AMPS, when one person grabs a segment of frequency for a call, nobody else within the cell can use it. Digital cellular technologies offer ways for carriers to allow more calls in a cell, using the same amount of bandwidth.

Advanced Mobile Phone System
Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) is the analog mobile phone system standard developed by Bell Labs, and officially introduced in the Americas in 1983. It was the primary analog mobile phone system in North America (and other locales) through the 1980s and into the 2000s, and is still widely available today, although use has dropped considerably with the introduction of various digital standards.
